When you are here, on our farm, you’ll have to take the bad with the good. There are bees, fruit, beaches, flowers – and also mud, mosquitoes, screaming kids, and irritating dogs. Please take a look at our past interns’ blogs (scroll through our blog for links) for first-hand accounts of their daily life here. And you can get some information on these pages about possible activities and excursions, how our cabins look, and where we are on the island.
